Gut and Physiology Syndrome

I believe that our digestive system holds the roots of our health; GAPS conditions stem from the unhealthy gut. The list of GAPS conditions is long; I divided them into two groups:

1. Gut And Psychology Syndrome
2. Gut And Physiology Syndrome

Gut And Psychology Syndrome or GAPS includes learning disabilities and mental disorders, such as autism, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, addictions, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsy, eating disorders and many other conditions, which affect the function of the brain. Many of these conditions have no established diagnostic labels and present themselves as a mixture of various so-called mental symptoms: mood alterations, memory and cognitive problems, behavioural and social problems, panic attacks, anxiety, involuntary movements, various tics and fits, sensory problems, etc.

In almost all cases the symptoms from both GAP Syndromes overlap: people with mental problems suffer physical symptoms (painful joints and muscles, fatigue, skin problems, asthma, hormonal problems, autoimmunity), while people with physical conditions have mental symptoms (such as depression, ‘brain fog’, inability to concentrate, mood swings, sleep abnormalities, memory problems, anxiety, tremors, tics, fits, etc.). When the digestive system is unwell, so instead of being a source of nourishment, it becomes a major source of toxicity in the body, nothing in the body can function well. Any organ, any system, any cell can show symptoms of distress – usually many of them respond with some symptoms.

GAPS Nutritional Protocol will work for all of these conditions. I believe that the roots of all chronic illnesses are to be found in the gut. In order to deal with any health problem fully we need to start from its roots. By following the GAPS Diet you will lay the ground for recovering from any chronic illness, even those that generally are considered ‘incurable’. On my blog Doctor-Natasha.com and in the book GAPS Stories you will find stories of people who followed GAPS Programme and recovered from rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, narcolepsy, various neuropathies, psoriasis, allergies, asthma, eczema, chronic cystitis, fibromyalgia, addictions (including alcoholism), low thyroid function, hormonal problems, learning disabilities and mental illness. This website will give you a general idea of what the GAPS Nutritional Protocol involves. To learn about it fully please read my book Gut And Psychology Syndrome.
